Chichibu Ichiro's Malt & Grain Takashimaya Blend
Lot number: 079-1315
Winning bid: £310
From its Mizunara wash backs and small stills with steep lyne arms to the fact that the mashman uses a wooden paddle to stir the mash, Chichibu is a hands-on distillery with quality as an intrinsic focus. With the ground now broken on a blending room, and an off-site cooperage, Ichiro Akuto's distillery, formed from the ashes of his grandfather's Hanyu distillery, is one of the finest producers in Japan.
Bottled exclusively for the 180th anniversary of Takashimaya, the Japanese department store founded in 1831.
Bottled: 2011
48% ABV / 70cl
